Solid knowledge of the first three steps of Design Thinking, especially of the first (empathize) and third (ideate) phases. However, I feel there is no guidance or actual feedback on what I am doing right or wrong with the assignments. Peer review is a great way to get feedback and thoughts from fellow co-students but I didn't get any feedback on most of my assignments. I also noticed that most of the assignments I reviewed had spelling mistakes and somewhat copied information from the reports presented right before each module. Also deadlines seem quite short for someone working full time or someone who has many other duties, for instance it took me a week to finish up the CoffeeHouse audit. Overall I am very satisfied with the knowledge, the course design and the assigments; I just feel I digest knowledge but apply it in the dark for the assignments.

Excellent course. Takes you through the UX process at the best companies. The only issues that bothered me were this - 1. I couldn't get 100% just because I hadn't interviewed a disabled person for the personas. I simply couldn't find anyone who was disabled and fit the target audience and I did not want to make up something just for the sake of the assignment. 2. The material in the course goes out of its way to make everyone in the examples Gender fluid. I understand Google has to "represent" and be politically correct but I couldn't overlook how it was bending over backwards for this. Outside of US and Europe people still arent used to Gender neutral language and it put me off the course everytime. Though I have nothing against their beleifs but dont try to shove it in our throats.

While the content is solid, I cannot give more than 3 starts for the very poor peer graded review process. The course is flooded with users that unless you actively campaign you will not obtain a fair review - worst of all, you have many people "trolling" just to get the certification. There really should be some kind of fact check system / or a way to bubble up issues that happen when you revieice a grade that fails you. At the end of the day the goal is to learn and embrace feedback, but if you give someone a less than passing with no feedback and no way to follow up, it leaves the student feeling confused, and questioning the integrity of the other students and their intentions on the site. I hope that this issue can be resolved in the future through an AI grading system instead.

The course helps a lot when it is about guiding the student through the activities or process of ux designing. But it still having some gaps in order to immerse the student in this new topic. Example why sometimes the reading activities repeats the same information given in the videos? Why the exercises change a lot from one project to another? It is better finishing one project like the coffee house first and only at the end start the students project so it could help them understand the all process and also could review and fixed the knowledge acquired.Some times it is very confusing. For example, about the competitive audit, should the audit focus in the business aspects in general or just about their app or website?

I am not sure who were my peers or if they could read. For the first assignment, I created two separate personas and my peers did not pass it. I am not sure why, but I re-read the instructions, used the templates, and ultimately redid the assignment. I included the two personas, added the pain points, summary, etc. in order to surpass the minimum assignment requirements and once again, a few no-higher-than-second-grade-education-having degenerates failed my project. Needless to say I was over the assignment, the class and moved to another platform to study UX. Coursera was very professional in handling the sitaution after I found their contact information and reported the situation.

In some parts I've would have liked a bit more guidance on how to find and balance competitors and their info for students who aren't US based as from the beginning of the course the examples are US based. Also, the estimated time of the final assignment is not realistic at all. Either that or I turned into a snail, but it didn't take me 1 hour, instead it took me closer to a couple of full time days and i had to reorganize all my schedule. Other than that, the course is great and the instructors awesome as usual!

I feel I learned less compared with the first foundation course.

I don't think it's necessary to have so many peer-review assignment. Some people don't even read your assignment then give a random score, which is really not fair.

The last assignment is too long. We're all human beings, you want to design digestable assignment to ensure engagement rate, small pieces of assignment, target on the most important things that you want learners to takeaway, is the best option.

Many peer assignments were hard to complete, because of misleading Google Template names. I saw many other students struggle together with me. We had to review and add notices to each other, so we can review according to provided point system, which was unfair in my opinion (week 4). I am now on the 7th course and can say - this one is the most complicated, worse organized, but still useful.

Great course, but unfortunately all assignments are peer reviewed, so your hard work is not evaluated by qualified UX designers, instead others who are at varying degrees of competence. It's possible the person marking your work may not have a solid understanding of the requirements themselves, and mark you down because of their own lack of understanding. Other than that, great course.

The competitive audit seemed to challenge a large majority of the learners in a way inconsistent with the difficulty level of the rest of the course.

Also, there was no practice activity for ideation for our own projects, so by the time we get to course three it expects us to have done ideation for our projects on our own.

This course although it helps by introducing some research concept it doesn't help understanding them. In order to complete the tasks it sets you to do, you have to pay for participants. It felt like robots were talking in the videos and human beings. I did not enjoy this course and I hope the next course will be better.

This course was a bit long winded. Many of them seem to be. I wish you went straight into software and designing from scratch. I am a beginner in UX Design but not in Design. I wish there was something for the intermediate to advance Adobe users trying to learn terminology and just go right into building.

I thought this course was very good thanks!

However, I had a tough time with the competitive audits. It would be useful if there was information on how to find general information of competitor. And also go into more detail on what makes a good impression, interaction, visual design, and content.

Some of the writings contradicted the videos and overall the flow of information felt off. I did enjoy the topics presented but didn't feel I got a solid foundation of understanding of why the topics were important. Some insight just felt like it was missing. i did enjoy the videos though.

Much of the processes in this section (ex: audits) spoke as if individuals already had an app created. Perhaps it would be helpful to rephrase the content and consider how processes may be different when you are designing an app from the ground up, rather than updating an existing one.

very interesting course. What I dislike is you don't really get to learn when you can as they discription. You cannot preview previous course once finish but having to re-enroll (meaning pay again). The page for writing feedback is never works moothly for me to leave a comment.

It is a good intro into the ux world. Unfortunately feedback from other peers is not really good thus making it difficult to work on it all by yourself. Maybe there could be ways to create teams of people that ould work close to each other and get real feedback and ideas

I felt like the videos were a little too fast, but the transcript really helped. I sometimes wasn't quick enough to pause at a certain spot in the video. I love how the text is highlighted in the transcript to make it easy to find that spot.

The coursework was fantastic, however, another learner ruined my experience with the feedback that they gave & my inability to resolve this issue myself or through the Coursera experts. Otherwise, I'd have been quite happy with the course

Faltan datos en muchos temas , es bueno pero bastante básico. Además el sistema de entrega de tareas y corrección necesita mejoras, quienes te califican son los otros estudiantes, no un especialista

This part of the course series needs a revision for clarity. I am not enjoying the presentation of information and find the creators are unaware of when they switch language around examples.

The Course is wonderful. In the process of going through this course, I learnt a lot of things like conducting research. empathizing with users and all other aspects contained in this course

The lecturers are all great ! However, the week 5 took so much time than other weeks so I could not keep up to the following courses . I hope the course time can be more evenly distributed.

I did the course, but it's hard. I did the tests, too many wrong and useless answers for normal people. The hard answers are for the smartest people in the world. Is not nice!
